Transfer Credit

The Department of Women's and Gender Studies allows students to take and transfer courses from other institutions to the University of Michigan for prerequisite and major/minor credit. Transfer credits may be applied toward a major, but at least 14 of your total 27 credits must be completed in residence. Transfer courses may also be applied toward a minor, with 10 of 15 credits taken in residence. 

To request that transfer and/or study abroad credits count for one of our majors or minors, please send the following information to wgs.advising@umich.edu:

  • Course title
  • Course description
  • Syllabus (could be the syllabus for the same course in a different term)

Women's and Gender Studies will review the course and will respond to your request within two weeks. Please email wgs.advising@umich.edu with any questions. 

If you're interested in attending the University of Michigan, please visit the university's admissions website for additional information about applying and transferring credits.
